Ephesians 2:4-7
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
Tag: Purpose of Salvation
Most believers look at salvation as the Magic Ticket: The ticket out of hell. God, on the other hand, has a different reason for His plan. God, of course, wants to provide away to be set free from eternal punishment. However, the above verse supplies for us the insights we need to consider for the real meaning of Salvation. God wants to supply us with and "lavish" (see 1:8) upon us the ""immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Make no mistake: The purpose of salvation, first and foremost, is for us to know the surpassing greatness of life in Christ. To "know" Him!! God wants us to know Him via our relationship with Christ. He will later tell us that Christ broke down the ""hostile" relationship we had with God, before Christ:
Ephesians 2:14
For he himself is our peace, who has mad us both one and has broken down in his Fles's the dividing wall of hostility.
The purpose of salvation is for God to show us who He via the relationship we have with Him in Christ. We are to spend our time getting to know Him and that surpassing greatness of His grace.
